New Year's resolutions?

Good first morning of 2024!
A cold one today, windy with highs in the 30s, wind chill much colder.
First inklings of a winter storm this weekend ...
That's your New Year's weather report from the Blue Ridge, oldest mountains in the U.S.

As the clock ticks in CoSo Wonderland, Alice and Mad Hatter send love. Time dwindles, and our funding is at 57%. We dreamt of reaching 95%. In these final moments, your donations matter. Let’s ensure this magical place, built with love and dreams, continues to enchant without burdening its creator. To all who've donated, our hearts overflow with gratitude. Your kindness keeps our Wonderland alive. Join us in this last, loving push. Let's make magic happen together! πŸ•°οΈπŸ°πŸŽ©

As your evening progresses and 2023 fades away, may 2024 dawn a wonderful year for you both. And perhaps somewhat drier ...
Happy New Year!

As the month fades and a new year dawns in CoSo Wonderland Alice holds onto hope. Our enchanted land, crafted by @th3j35t3r, is at 57% funding. With just hours left, we could still unveil Alice's true identity at 95% funded. Let's embrace this magic! Donate before the donation meter signals month's end. Alice will vanish, leaving only echoes of our shared dreams. Alice will check in with @MadHatterOfWonderland
and maybe we shall return.

Alice here, whispering from Wonderland! πŸ„ We need your help - CoSo is only 54% funded, guess who the Mad Hatter and Alice might be, donate if you can. Every guess adds $1 from the Wonderland Bank, and for correct ones, a generous $5! We'll share the right answers with you in secret DMs. Once we reach 95% funding, Alice will reveal their true identity. Join our wonder-filled mission and help our magical world thrive! πŸŽ©πŸ‡

@AliceTheWonderNaut
Would you post again the link that shows where CoSo stands in funding this month?
Thank you!
Find out by making a guess.

A spring choir show in jr high was story-themed. I sang and danced:
I'm late, I'm late, for
A very important date.
No time to say hello, good-bye,
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late
I'm late and when I wave,
I lose the time I save.
My fuzzy ears and whiskers
Took me too much time to shave.
I run and then I hop, hop, hop,
I wish that I could fly.

The photos of me in fuzzy ears are alas long gone, and I never caught up to Alice, so I still don't know .
Make your guess and fund .

JackJack is resting up, so he can welcome the New Year in tomorrow night. It will be his estimated 12th.

Happy New Year's Eve Eve.
Now is the time to make plans for safe transport -- find out what is feasible. Municipal systems may have shorter holiday hours. There may be special programs offering free rides in your area. Designate a driver. Plan to spend the night.
Just don't become a statistic; your community would miss you.
This has been a reminder from your friendly librarian who is staying at home NYE.

In case your story is like mine ...
I joined a long while back, and I have enjoyed getting to know very nice people participating in an honest, funny, enlightening, civil way. There's a real feel of community here.
I kept thinking that I needed to go Pro; that I was getting a free ride while others were supporting the efforts of @th3j35t3r.
Don't be like me, and wait so long to go Pro.
